I'm booked for a week in March 2013 with my son and was able to find a pretty good deal on airfare ($400 each round trip, non stop) but we have to go the day before to be there at noon (flight arrives around 3 PM which is the shove-off time from the dock). I'm wondering what is the best strategy for the night before. Obviously there are lots of hotels on the island to choose from. I am wondering if it is best to stay by the marina to just walk over when we check out or stay somewhere else and catch a 2 cabs (airport to hotel, hotel to marina). I understand that there is a red-roof inn across the street. I don't want to stay in a total dump and get the trip off to a bad start with my son; but I also don't want to pay $600 to stay over at Atlantis for one night. I'm wondering what solutions worked for other folks with the same dilemma.
